- Abstract: Recent experiments on spontaneous emission of atomic matter waves open a new
window into the behavior of quantum emitters coupled to a waveguide. Here we
develop an approach based on infinite products to study this system
theoretically, without the need to approximate the band dispersion relation of
the waveguide. We solve the system for a one-dimensional array of one, multiple
and an infinite number of quantum emitters and compare with the experiments.
This leads to a detailed characterization of the decay spectrum, with a family
of in-gap bound states, new mechanisms for enhanced Markovian emission
different from superradiance, and the emergence of matter-wave polaritons.

We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.
When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits.
We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

For the role of emitters, we propose to use anti-symmetric states of atomic dimers as effective two-level systems.
We uncover significant non-Markovian corrections which arise from both the finiteness of the array and through retardation effects.

We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction.
The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry.
The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
